fake128So I stumbled across a Kingston Data Traveller 128gb USB flash drive for US$ 27,- on Ebay.co.uk –  now with a retail price of US$ 527,- this is beyond totally cheap..  Sadly it is likely a fake drive, but hey with the PayPal buyers protection program (and a price as low as this)  I’m not that concerned about possibly loosing a penny or two… Also it would be interesting to get a fake pen to the lab and see how it works under the hood. And who knows, I may just be lucky and get a bargain 😉 A few interesting links when it comes to fake USB pens; http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/article-list/  http://fixfakeflash.wordpress.com/ http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/BEWARE-of-FAKE-128GB-256GB-USB-Flash-Drives-on-eBay_W0QQugidZ10000000001236067

Have you ever had to support users with a different national keyboard than yours?

If so you may have noticed that national keyboards can vary quite a lot!?

Anyway, here is a few links to graphical depictions of national keyboards, then you at least stand a fighting chance 🙂

I just read a news letter from OpenDNS in which they state that they are now offering a paid solution where you get granular control of blocked sites.  Basically this mean that you can allow yourself (or equally important persons 😉 to bypass all the site blocking your site otherwize uses..  That seem quite clever..

Sitation from the newsletter;
A lightweight and innovative approach to per-user access controls, OpenDNS Web content filtering empowers you to grant individuals on your network permission to bypass blocked pages. No appliance. No software. It works efficiently through the cloud.
